UK: “Milk Can Only Come-Out of Cow” – Opines Post-Brexit British Court – Buckley to EU Dictates! (12.1.2026)
Last year, the EU parliament voted to ban the use of terms such as “oat milk” and “veggie burger” — but such a ban will not come into force until it is backed by the European Commission and all 27 member states.
European farmers have argued such terms mislead consumers and threaten their industry.
Environmentalists have said that the ban will harm sustainability efforts and is an overreach by the meat and dairy industries.
Richard May, partner at law firm Osborne Clarke, said of the Supreme Court ruling: “It confirms that, even post-Brexit, the UK will continue to take a strict approach to the use of protected dairy terms, closely aligned with the EU regime.
“The key principle is straightforward: if a product is not derived from animal milk, it cannot be marketed using reserved dairy designations such as ‘milk’ or ‘cheese’.”
UK: Are Scarecrows Linked to Pagan Fertility Gods? (22.6.2025)
This may be due to the Celtic traditions developing within heavily forested areas prior to the arrival of the Romans – who cleared trees to build their straight roads. Romans also cleared forested areas to create farming fields – so open fields were “foreign” to the British Celts. The Druids are reported as detesting the Roman habit of destroying the sacred woods (the Druids and their Celtic Army were finally beaten by the Romans at the Battle of Anglesey circa 60 CE – the last time “magic” was known to have been used on a British battlefield). During these times, crops were planted within the safety of the forested-canopy – where the Gods of Fertility operated more or less unaffected by the wild birds. Wide, open fields were not yet accepted as “British”. It might have even been the case that Celtic farmers came to some arrangement with the wild birds – setting aside some food for them so that everyone got on without conflict. There was 800-years between the Romans (5th century CE) leaving and the plague creating the conditions that led to the development of the modern British Scarecrow (14th century CE).
China: Disabled Children Participate in Farm Work in Tianjin! (2.6.2025)
Huiai Farm covers an area of approximately 80 mu (about 5.33 hectares) and was jointly initiated and built by 8 families, whose children were diagnosed with autism or intellectual disabilities. Huiai Farm considers farm work as a means for children to get closer to nature and encourages families to bring their children here to participate in farm work together with children with autism or intellectual disabilities, enhancing the social interaction skills of them in a real community environment.
Starmer’s Britain: “Massive Increase” in Pensioner Shoplifting – as Older People Driven to Theft to Survive!! (11.5.2025)
heft within Islam is permitted if it is related to relieving poverty. Indeed, in some Arab States, pristine vending machines are visible on the streets which dispense “free” fresh and good quality food to whoever needs it. Obviously, this attitude has not extended into Judeo-Christian countries – or their secular (capitalist) equivalents. Whilst we contemplate that irony – it might be worth mentioning that people aged 50-63 are not “Pensioners” simply on the grounds that they are not yet retired – or in receipt of Old Age (State) Pension. As various governments keep fiddling with the exact date a person can retire and receive State Pension – the age may now be higher than 64 (the age I remember). Of course, a person can retire at any age below 64 providing they possess an independent means of income – usually a private pension and/or immense savings.
CSA: Would a Confederate Victory Have Led to a Socialist Revolution? (28.2.2025)
However, the Southern ideas of honour and their so-called aristocratic thinking were overblown and these ideas actually sometimes played to the South’s benefit, as the men in the South followed natural leaders and often times appointed them on their own (via popular vote). All too often, in the North, Officers were often political appointees – desk-bound Officers who hadn’t seen a battlefield in years – or ever. Or men who simply bought their way into a General’s uniform. One of the more stereotypical views of the South was the aforementioned backward, backwoodsman. Think about that for a moment. Yes – a significant portion of the Confederate Army was poor, uneducated, and illiterate. Some left-leaning historians have said – with some accuracy – that the poor Whites of the South had more in common with the slaves – than they did with the leading families who owned most of the land and the fabulous estates like the fictional “Tara” in Gone With the Wind.
